Bas-relief Saint George and the Dragon, a relief inspired by neoclassical imagery. The dragon is a fabulous animal, a universal symbolic figure found in most cultures around the world, both in primitive and oriental cultures as well as in classical ones. In this medallion, the dragon represents “the animal”, the primordial enemy with which the “great battle” will be fought, the “great trial” of humanity to achieve spirituality, in which we can see Saint George, Horus, Perseus, Archangel Michael…

The legend of Saint George and the dragon is a tale of valor and sacrifice that has endured through the centuries. According to tradition, Saint George, a Christian knight, came to a city threatened by a dragon that demanded human sacrifices. With courage, the knight faced the beast until he managed to defeat it by thrusting his lance into the dragon’s heart. This heroic act saved the city and its people from the terrible scourge of the monster. The story of Saint George and the dragon has inspired countless works of art, in painting, sculpture, and literature. Patron saint of cities and countries, Saint George’s Day is celebrated on April 23rd. His figure endures as a symbol of the fight against evil and the defense of virtue and justice.
